Abilene Motor Express....A New Place To Call Home

Dude... stop lurking and speak up!!! I for one miss your input!!! And don’t you think for a second that just because you are working elsewhere that you are unwelcome here in the peanut gallery!!!

And congrats!!! Sounds like a good next step. I might need input from the both of you as I and the blonde get closer to team driving... in May she is coming along for a two week “vacation”... lol ... we will see how that goes... but ya, I’m sure you two have suggestions from you mr time Team Driving for sure.

And seriously, keep us posted on how things are going at the new job... maybe after 2019 a few of us might be looking as well... lol

Again, congrats and stay safe!!!

 

Glad to hear you are back OTR!!!
Hope everything is healing up.

Seriously, condoms are a very good idea when dealing with them Lot Lizards... lol

 

Hello Barstow!!! Hello Colton!!!
Such a beautiful drive out this way!!!

 

So... ya... California.... beautiful... BUT...

I-40... NOTHING around for MILES... 55mph

Meanwhile, outside the Colton Yard; Four Lane City Traffic, Stop Lights, merging traffic, people literally walking just feet from the lane of traffic, cars making a right turn into YOUR lane right in front of you.... blah blah blah...

STILL 55 MPH... seriously, WTF California???

No, seriously!!! Its ok to drive faster out in the dang desert as there is literally nothing out there to hit... but ok, your State; your Laws... but meanwhile, on the exact opposite end on the spectrum, if 55 mph is the standard out in the middle of no freaking anywhere, what on the green earth makes it ok to drive the same 55 mph with people and cars around you on four lane city streets???

Those two example are in opposition to each other on the logic scale.... UGH ...

Beautiful Landscapes!!!
Filled with Fruits & Nuts!!!

 

Have you been to "Reno, Nevada" ?
It's the Volvo load assignment. I really like that run, it's been months since I have done that.
Last week I was surprised and was sent to "Salem, Oregon" these where the road signs along the way..... "Extremely weather conditions area"..... "Possible avalanche next 24 miles".
Possible! Possible!..... How in the world you deal with "possible" it's that like a gamble?

 

Anybody running up 35 thru Ohio watch yourself,was told by dot yesterday we're being targeted.

 

Never let them know an area you really want to run in. You’ll never see it again! LOL I told them once I really liked AZ/NM/TX. Didn’t get there again for almost 1 1/2 years!
As for the possibles......well, ya just gotta roll with ‘em.

Of course we are & have been for a while with all the accidents and incidents we have on our CSA. And for some reason, we are now having CDL permit holders being trained in our day cabs. Guess were seeing more of that “nothing is going to change” change.

 

Heads up everyone!
One of our own just got into a bad accident.
The truck and trailer are crush between the guard rail and the mountain on I-64 North. Mile marker 60-63.
I think the driver is ok.
To get him out they will need close the road!

 

We just had one this morning.
Incredible!

 

What state? Sure hope the driver is okay.
